My Travel Stories

Springtime at the Walt Disney World Resort
My Spring time visit to the Walt Disney World Resort was full of amazing experiences. With a 3 day Park-Hopper ticket I made the most out of my visit. Whenever I go to Walt Disney World I always try to do things that I have never done before and this visit was no exception. It was filled with discovering many new things! Here are a few highlight...

Disneyland at Christmastime!
Christmastime at Disneyland!
Christmastime at Disneyland is pure magic!! It is one of my favorite times to be in the Park. I enjoy going the first weekend in December. Typically, this is when the Candlelight Processional is performed and it is something not to be missed! Watching the choir members proceed down Main Street is such a beautiful sight. All lights are dimmed and...

Thank you Brenda!
Reviewed By Denise - Crestview Fl | Traveled to St. Martin ~ St. Martin ~ Caribbean
I reached out to Brenda to help with the planning of our first trip to St. Martin. She asked me some questions about the type of activities my husband and I like to do while vacationing. She then sent me several different excursions to review and choose from. We had so much fun on the tour of the island and also chose a sunset cruise which served appetizers and free drinks. Having Brenda's help and guidance made planning so much easier. We had such a great trip. I will definitely use her services in the future.

We had a wonderful trip! Brenda was great with answering my bazillion questions. She was instrumental in assisting us with our Retie the Knot ceremony. Communication before, during and after our trip was exceptional.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Brenda Made the Magic Happen!!
Reviewed By Charlotte - Tucson, Az | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
I am traveling to Disneyland in September for their Half Marathon Weekend. This is a very busy time because there are thousands of people there for the races and thousands more for Labor Day. During the last Half Marathon Weekend, they sold out of reservations for both parks leaving thousands of runners unable to enjoy a single day in the park. I contacted Brenda to help with our travel, and not only did she purchase our Disneyland tickets, but she secured our reservations for the parks. This was a huge load off my shoulders. It was honestly my biggest concern for this trip. She understood my concerns, made sure she had all of the correct information by double and triple checking the details I provided. I didn't have to lift a finger. Brenda had it all under control. I can't thank her enough for taking the stress out of planning a vacation. Brenda, you are amazing! Thank you for handling our vacation like it was your own.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Most relaxing trip to Disneyland!
Reviewed By Cheryl - Tucson, Arizona | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
This was one of the best planned trips to Disneyland we have had , thanks to Brenda Knapik. It was such a weight lifted off my shoulder having someone else plan the entire trip. Communication was great and clearly explained all the details and trip went flawlessly. Brenda went above and beyond to answer any question we had. She went above and beyond researching options to get best vantage point to view World of Color in Disney California Adventure.
Looking forward to planning another trip with Brenda's help. Thank you again!
